Smart cities

In a smart city, you connect people, data, and devices to create a better place to live. Together with our partners, Axis delivers scalable, innovative camera and IoT solutions, and uses our industry-leading expertise and experience to bring your city together.

Shaping smarter, more livable cities

Half of the world’s population live in cities today –  that could rise to 5 billion people by 2030. To manage this growth, city authorities need to find ways to protect citizen safety and quality of life while using their budgets more effectively. In other words, they need to work smarter. Axis collaborates with a vast network of partners to provide scalable, flexible solutions built on open industry standards. Using innovative technology and unmatched expertise, we bring your resources together to improve efficiency within public safety, urban mobility, and environmental monitoring.

Smarter cities with flexible, scalable solutions

Technology will always be a key enabler for cities in their quest to become smart, but it’s not the only factor to consider when ensuring delivery of effective smart city projects. We have to move away from the traditional operating model where city departments work in silos, focusing only on one area of operation, for example, traffic or health. 

An Axis network camera, for example, might be primarily used for video surveillance to improve public safety, but it can also be a tool for gathering data and statistics for traffic management and environmental monitoring. A single Axis device can, with its open and scalable technology, break down data silos and support the goals of multiple city authorities.
